Imagine
Have you ever kissed a ghost
Been to the end of the rainbow
Saw a unicorn
Or experienced death
Have you seen the eyes of Satan
The inside of a killer whale
Or been shot out of a whale’s blow hole
Sometimes you have to imagine
Because the ground is really not that far from the
Sky

This was a beautiful poem, inspiring and moving, the kind of poem that after reading left me with very moved thoughts and inspired me to imagine everything mentioned in this poem and then some.
“Because the ground is really not that far from the sky.” Wow! This is so profound that anything I say will only ruin it. Bravo, sir. Well done.
